I have posted this as a new topic as it deals more with their response to feedback.  I'll refrain from comment - particularly the last part - but have drafted a reply which I am still working on

Me to them

You need to check your programming etc following my experience detailed below.  Totally haywire
Looking for a  1965 will for Hugh Owen Roberts.    Input surname etc & am presented with 48 pages of results - but not all for Roberts

Robertshaw/Robertson then a page of Roberts & back to Robertson.  Finally get into Roberts and after 2 pages ending with Florence Roberts I get returned to the beginning.

Due to the way that the calendars are scanned, the search feature is based on indexing.
In a lot of cases, an uncommon surname will be sandwiched in amongst more common names.
 
Unfortunately on some occasions, you might have to navigate through a calendar with a close alphabetical range to find your desired match.
 
Something to note, as long as you have the correct FULL NAME, DOD, PROBATE DATE, REGISTRY,  you can actually type anything to those fields and we'll find it.
For Example: If you typed BROWN and view the calendar for Brown, but entered the details for John Smith and those details were accurate, we would be able to locate it.
 

I am looking for any newspaper report about the following death if anybody can help.  I have Googled until I am crosseyed but cannot find anything online.  (His christian name has 2 x r’s but have tried searching with one as well)

My friends brother Garry Pentelow died on 13.6.2017 in Derriford Hospital although he lived in Cornwall. He was 78yrs old at the time.  Inquest was held 22.1.2018 in Plymouth

Cause of death is shown as Traumatic brain injury - Road traffic collision.  COPD is also shown but the Coroner concluded the RTA was the cause of his death.  As his death & the inquest were both in Plymouth I am assuming that’s where the accident happened.

My friend had been estranged from her brother for many years.  She only learnt of his death a few weeks ago but was unaware of the circumstances until I received his death cert today. 

My cousin has just discovered via DNA that she had a half brother born 1936 died 2017.  She was b 1948

His mother was married & although his birth was registered under her married name it is said that my uncles name is shown as his father on the birth cert.

If that is true - would I be right in saying that my uncle would have had to be present at the birth registration & therefore had full knowledge of the child's birth?

A copy of the birth cert is being forwarded to my cousin.  The child was raised by the woman's husband who knew he was not the child's father

I was quite shocked today in Aldi - St Annes (Fylde)  branch.  In the first 2 aisles I counted 8 people without masks - mainly in the 20/30 age group.

2 were couples, a group of 3 young lads and a youth on his own.  I accept some people have hidden disabilities but 8 on the same day in what is quite a small branch of Aldi???

I heard that Blackpool was heaving today so I dread to think what's going to happen if any restrictions are eased.  The death toll is still far too high for my liking and with the 10-14 day incubation period for this virus I think another 2 weeks of restrictions would not be that unreasonable.

My neighbour was in shock on Thursday.  He is an engineer and his workplace have been staggering shifts to ensure distancing.  A colleague was sent home sick last Saturday, he was on a ventilator by Monday and died Wednesday.  Confirmed Coronavirus as cause of death
